OIl lWn OivraUU Views on the Fi

OIl-Tiine Campground.
When an old man like me gets
rested and limbered up he can crowd
a right smart fun into one day, but
the mellow, shadows of the evening
sets him back to meditating upon
things that were the past is sweetest
to the aged
I went up to Atlanta to spend the
day last week, but I couldn't get any
body to talk to me about a thing but
finance. "Free silver," "unlimited
coinage" finance in general has got
to be the talk of the small street
urchin up- there. I was compelled
to listen to it till I was tired and left
as soon as I had given my financial
opinion, as follows :
If you spend $2 while you earn $1 ,
you need not howl about the "short
crop" in finance.
If there are three men for every
job of work, that means "oversupply"
"reduce the acreage."
If the family jewels would sell for
enough to stock a farm and make a
crop you are not in much financial
stress. -
If women lounge in their parlors
while their servants pass the bread
and meat over the back fence, they
need not howl about the old man
taking a "glass of soda" the day he
goes into the hands of a receiver.
A man who never could get a dol-i
lar ahead even in confederate times
-and will stand for fiours discussing
the financial problem he's a fool.
Mothers and daughters who keep
servants to do the house work while
the old man is straining to keep'out
of the clutches of creditors some
more fools.
A five-hundred-dollar schedule on
a hundred-dollar capacity won't do.
Cut down the style, reduce the rent
start up the old wheels and looms-
get back to the old-time ways. The

country blacksmith and wood-workman,
homemade shoes" and tin shops,
harness and saddle makers, all these
things revived will solve the problem
and make us happy. These views
are too "homermade" to suit the At
lanta solons, and I was glad to join a
jolly crowd on their way out to the
chautauqua. t
An hoir or so at the chautauqua
satisfied my crowd and off they put
to go in "bathing." Whenever a
crowd of pretty women let me under
stand that they are going in a swim-
I ming you may just resolve that I will
be there. I had never seed the sight,
but I thought I could stand it if they
could and so I got my most active
movements on. I got up a regular
cyclone movement when it looked
like I was going to be left when they
had all boarded the car. We got
there and at the water's edge I stood
and give my eyeglasses a good rub
bing while 1 waited for the "bathers"
to make their appearance from the
little houses where they had gone to
put on a few "fig leaves" in the place
of their waring apparel. I was dis
appointed when the "bathers" did
appear. ; "Fig leaves" were too
abundant. I had rupped my specta
cles until I could have seen a seed
tick two hundred yards through the
thickest swamp in Georgia, but not a
thing did I see to justify my expecta
tions of women' in the bath.
But for one. mishap there would
have been nothing in the "bath" to
have tinged the cheek of the most
fastidious. This "mishap" was un
fortunate for the reason that the most
modest young people in all the crowd
were the victims. A fine young fel
low whom you could see was
stuck

and swung on with their might.
There was a calamity !
The fastenings which held the
young man's suit gave way, the tree
rebounded and he went Hying up
wards, leaving all the "hg leaves
that had been upon him in the hands
ol the two misses.
As clean as my spectacles were,
the young man lit from the tree and
left them parts with such speed that
I saw nothing but a streak of where
he bad passed over the hill. The
young ladies were paralyzed. They
stood like marble statues holding' to
the suit of their friend, and there we
had better leave them for it ended in
tears.
We left the chautauqua so abrupt
ly that I went back there after the
bathing was over and bar! my feelings
confirmed that there was nothing
about them to compare with an old
fashioned camp ground.
It is idle in me I reckon to make
these comparisons, but these chau
tauquas stare us in the face for the
future. The old camp ground is al
most a thing of the past the few left
have lost the old simplicity. The
high-salaried lecturer - is last taking
the place of the old preacher. The
summer res rt hotels now draw
profit from the crowds at chautauquas

Now is a good time for me to tell
the ouiig generation something of
the old camp meetings. The chau
tauquas over the country and the
season suggest it. for the old camp
meeting use to follow lay bye time,
and was a luting and pleasing relax
ation from the labors of the field.
Getting ready for camp meeting
was like preparing for a holiday trip,
aid little and big, old and young,
joined in the work with many antici
pations. The "tent" at the camp
grounds must be seen to, and while
the men folks attended to this the
women and children were in a bustle
at home making ready the good
things to feed the crowds upon.
Chickens were cooked, the country
hams were taken from their hangings
in the smoke house, hulling of the
new wheat was seen to, preserves and
all sorts of good things were taken
from the pantry and packed to move
to the camp ground. Men, women,
and children joined in raking and
sweeping the camp grounds. The
great arbor was newly bushed, the
big spring cleaned out and every
"tent" filled with fresh wheat straw.
"Commencement" day found
everything ready and each family
settled in their "tent" to welcome
strangers or mingle with old friends.
From miles around the people head
ed lor the camp ground. Village
folks suspended business, country
and town gathered together, and
while old friendships were strength
ened, the embers of religion were
starred into blazing flames, and the
clappings ol hands and the shouts of
"Glory !" "Glory !" "Glory !" which
sounded from the arbor told how
easy it was to start a il.ime which
had slumbered through the press of
"crop time." A shouting multitude
was there, and the hallelujahs
sounde d to the heavens and floated
tidings' of joy out into all the world.
From the very start, I think, the an
gels gathered near unto this old bush
.arbor and cast a hallo around the old
preachers who ministered there.
Rough and unlettered as these old
preachers are reckonod, all the learn
ing of subsequent years may fail to
touch the tender heartstrmg which
sends a-thnlhng the story of Jesus,
and His love as ihey did.
"Come!"
"Welcome !"
' These were the mottoes which
shown from every "tent" door.
These mottoes d.d not peep from
guilded frames in printed letters, but
better, they reflected from warm
hearts and smiling faces. Come one,
come all ; bring your sisters and your
brothers and your cousins and your
aunts. An old-time George wel

And they went. Everybody went

Some went a-foot, some on horse-1
back, in wagons, in ox-carts, from
the old grand-mother to the smallest
babe gathered there and ate without
price from the tables under the trees
and slept on the mellow-scented straw
on the tent" floor the boys on , one
side, the girls on the other, with
sometimes a sheet hung between and
sometimes nothing ; they were as far
apart as the sealed partitions of a
chautauqua hotel could have made
them, and when the bugle sounded
in the morning to put the camp astir,

fair number of women.who have distin

There are in America three women
whose etchings can lay claim to the
highest rank, while in the field of
wood engraving such good work has
been done that it seems impossible
for technical excellence to surpass it.
An extremely rare wood cutis the
work of a young woman, done in the
sixteenth century by the hands of

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
YELLOW FEVER
In Bruuswick and There Has Not
Been a Single .Case.
HON. TOM LAMB, THE MAYOR, TALES,
The National Marine Hospital Service Uaa
Assumed Control of Quarantine
at lirunswlck, and There
. . . Ia No Danger.
Bkuxswick, Ga., July 27. The ma
rine hospital service has assumed con
trol of quarentine affairs at Bruns
wick.
This act is the sequel to the yellow
fever scare of last month.
Surpeon General Wyman, in' his re- 1
port of the investigation of the quar
antine service at Brunswick, says:
"Surg-eon Carter's report shows con
clusively that the quarantine regula
tions were not enforced with regard to
the bark 'Anita Berwind,' on which
vessel the captain, who died of yellow
fever, was taken sick, and that the
quarentine authorities at Brunswick
have constantly, during the season,
failed to comply with said regulations.
On account of this laxity, which still
threatens to bring disaster, I am satis
fied ' that the national government
should assume control of this quaran
tine in accordance with section 3 of
the act of February 15, 1893, which
states, 'If the state or municipal au
thorities shall fail or refuse to enforce
the same and adopt such measures as,
in his judgment, shall be necessary to
prevent the introduction and spread
of such disease, and may detail or ap
point officers for that purpose.' 1 will
add that the state of Georgia has no
board of health, and that the quaran
tine at Brunswisk is of a local charac
ter altogether. I have, therefore, to
recommend that Assistant Surgeon
John V. Branham, United States
marine hospital service, be detailed
immediately by the president to en
force the rules and regulations."
Speaking of the dispatches in regard
to' the vessel with yellow fever which
was up the Satilla river recently, May
or Lamb said that there has been more
fuss raised over the matter than the
facts warranted. The vessel has not
been within two miles of Brunswick
at any time, and was nearly sixty
miles away when the fever developed.
This boat came from Havana, where
there is fever all the year , round. She
was detained at the city's quarantine
station, two miles below Brunswick,
four or five days. She was fumigated,
and proceeded up the river, and at the
landing where she stopped she was
fifty-six miles above Brunswick. There
the captain died, and was buried.- The
crew of the vessel were sent to the
national quariritine station at Sapelo
island. They remained there uritil
danger of fever had passed, and were
allowed to go. Not a case broke out
among the twenty-five men who had
been working about the .vessel while
at the tie camp.
MISSIONARIES MURDERED.
Beaten to Death and Left on the Streets
for the Dogi to Kat.
' Vaxcouvkr, It. C, July 20. The
steamship Empress, of India, has ar
rived with news of the murder of two
Sweedish missionaries by Chines
fanatics at Singpo. They were warned
by servants that they would be killed
on July 1st, but took no precautions,
except to send a letter to a magistrate
demanding, protection. Early in ' the
morning of July 1st the missiona
ries' house was surrounded by a mob.
Stones were thrown at the house and
the windows battered in until tjhe mis
sionaries could no longer remain in
doors. They attempted to escape off
the roofs of houses but were followed
by the mob. Finally they could go no"
further and dropped into the street in
to the hands of the mob. Wikholm'"
skull was mashed with an ax and Mr.
Johnson was speedily beaten out of all
semblance to human shape by bamboo
rods and iron bolts. The bodies were

Heavily Applied, and They
are Then Hanged by
the I'enple. '
CoT.rtmiA, S. C.,. July 31. Will
Thompson, one of the three negroes
who committed the revolting and dia
bolical assault on Mrs. Arch Sightler,
was terribly punished nd then
lynched by an infuriated mob at Gas
ton yesterday.
A ter leing almost flayed alive with
a leather strap in thehandsof the hus
band of the outraged woman, he was
kicked and keaten and then suspended
from a limb until he was strangled
after which the determined yeomanry
tilled his body with load.
Thompson who was a sixteen-year-old
boy, was captured near here, and
taken by 'his. captors to his dtKm. At
Gaston he repeated the confessional
ready made, and us he mounted the
scaffold held to it that Tom Preston
and Handy Kaigler, two other negroes
participated in the awful crime.
The scaffold was gradually removed, .
so as to prevent breakiitg'his neck, and
while strangling, his body was com
pletely riddled with bullets. The last
ball cut the rope, and the Inxly fell to
the ground but was "hoisted again and
left hanging,: J ,
! - THE SECOND OX K.
The second act in the Gaston lynch
ing was completed at '1:30 o'clock. -Tom
Preston, whom Thompson impli
cated in the crime was hung and shot.
After hanging Thompson the crowd
became even more savage. The whole
country was scoured and about 11
o'clock Preston was captured? five
miles from the scene of - the morning
lynching. He was taken to Gaston
and the same treatment was accorded
him before he was finally killed. Pres
ton denied his guilt, but that had no
effect. He 'was stripped and stretched
across a log and:. a hundred lashes
with a-buggy trace were laid upon his
person.
At last he was taken to the same
tree upon which the bloody, bullet
riddled body of Thompson still hung.
A plajtform of crossties was made and
the rope Was put around the same
limb! The platform was pushed away
by degrees and the wretch was slowly
strangled. The crowd did not shoot
until he had hung several minutes.
His body was then riddled with thous
ands of bullets, more than were given
Thompson. '
. A BLOODY AX,
And the Terrible Crime In Which It
Figured.
CuBSETTA, Ga., July 30. Mrs. M. E.
Elbeek, residing about twelve miles
from this place, was killed by some
one this morning about 3 o'clock.
An old negro man, about' seventy
years old is now in jail thought to be
the guilty party.
The work was done w ith a chop ax,
the weapon fracturing the skull.
The circumstances are strong against
him, his shirt front being bespattered
with blood when caught this morning.
Mrs. Elbeck was a most estimable
lady about forty-five years old, and
lived alone with her husband, who is a
very old man, and was sleeping in an
adjoining room, and knew nothing of
the killing until awakened ny the
heavy and unnatural breathing of his
wife. - - - -

She la Convinced That She Will Receive No
Support from Kitcland.
London. July 2'.. The Bangkok cor

The prompt enforcement of the block
ade, which virtually damages only
Great Britain,' has seemingly convinced
the Siamese that the assumed friendly
attempt at intervention by Great Brit
ain in Paris, has not availed to modify
the hard conditions of the ultimatum. ,
Siam, therefore, will probably concede
immediately the last difference re
maining between her and France by
accepting the ultimatum pure anil
simple.- Siam has not received the
slightest support from Great Britain
throughout the difficulty.
